  • WEB INTERFACE

    From Daryl Stout@1:103/705 to ECHICKEN on Tue Feb 27 13:03:00 2018
    I downloaded your web interface from GitHub, backed up the entire SBBS directory, modified the modopts.ini, copied the needed files over, and restarted the BBS. But, I still have the "current web interface" (a
    modified color theme off the original default theme) instead of the new
    one. Do I need to modify the web path??

    I've got things set to copy back over, if it doesn't work...but I was
    curious to give it a try.

    You need to change the web root directory in sbbs.ini.

    Depends on where you put the new 'web' directory (from the GitHub repo). There is a RootDirectory key in the [Web] section of sbbs.ini that you use to point to a different document root, if it's something other than '/sbbs/web/root'.

    The 'Quick start' instructions cover this by suggesting you rename the current 'web' directory and then paste the new one in its place.

    You need to change the web root directory in sbbs.ini.

    I originally had the web root directory as ..\web\root -- and didn't
    change it when I made the modification to the "modified color scheme of
    the default". I briefly had it at ..\web\ecwebv3, but went back to
    ..\web\root for the web deal.

    In the docs for the interface from GitHub, it said if one had moved
    the deal to ecwebv3, it needed to go back to root, and that's what my
    setup shows in the sbbs.ini file.

    I had backed up all the directories, but may just restore the ctrl and
    web ones to what they were...even though right now, calling up the
    website shows "the enhanced color scheme" to the default setup.

    I did both...no visible change. I'll try again and see what it will
    do. If it still doesn't work, I'll just go back to what I had before.

    It's very likely that the RootDirectory value in sbbs.ini is pointing to the wrong place, or that you didn't successfully copy my replacement 'web' directory over.

    This really should work:

    1) Shut down your BBS
    2) Rename your current 'web' directory to 'web.old'
    3) Paste my replacement 'web' directory as /sbbs/web
    4) Verify that RootDirectory points to /sbbs/web/root
    5) Verify that web_directory in modopts.ini [web] points to ../web
    6) Restart your BBS

    Daryl, did you have any preexisting inxex files in /web/root ? you may possibly have one in ther superseding the index.sjs

    There may have been. I probably should've just copied over the ctrl
    and web directories to a safe area, then deleted the current web
    directory, and put the new one in. But, that'll wait until sometime
    next week.

    I'm normally not up at this hour, but a glitch developed on the BBS,
    and I saw I had a ton of incoming mail to process. Since I'll be doing
    errands for my Mom later today, I figured I had better take care of this
    now.
